"This nomination is an honor for me and I truly appreciate being recognized for the work and effort in creating, Cry for You with DJ Geremy. To have this recognition humbles me and makes me proud at the same time. I am grateful for the opportunities that I've had and for all of the people who have been touched by my music and have been supportive of it.
